There is a huge market for technology for the aging population. Today, there is no killer app, but there is a lot of money being thrown at this market.

In this highly connected era, the necessities of a tech-savvy old age population will be a far cry from that of their previous generations. Technology has to step-up to cater to their needs and there will be a significant impact on the whole mHealth revolution. http://www.boston-technology.com/mhealth.html
